In the second to last episode of season one, Toni speaks with author and coach, Gabriela Mendoza Cadavid.

Her knowledge often came by trial and error, so she’s made it her mission to help others avoid the pitfalls she’s experienced through her coaching program. During our conversation, she gave tip after tip on self-publishing, especially for writers who experience lots of self-doubt and writers who feel like they have very little time to work on their book. Pen and pad will most definitely be needed for this episode.
